I discoved the need for an update because of the callsign change during my monthly review of FCC license changes. This needs to be split into two articles (it probably was unwise to move it a week ago) - one about the current radio station KVSF, and one about the prior group renting the station that continues to stream on the internet.

I also removed the paragraph stating "considerable controversy" about the ownership/format change - as the only cited source supporting the assertion is decidedly non neutral, and contained only 2 pages of primary source opinion - obviously by someone connected to the prior indie format. Please review Wikpedia policy on neutral POV and reliable sources.StreamingRadioGuide 23:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the input and update. I added the "significant controversy" paragraph, admittedly without reviewing the specific standards for citation and POV. I now have...

In all sincerity, and for my future ability to contribute to Wikipedia, there really was and is a great deal of controversy surrounding the sale. Without taking a stand on any side of the situation, the sale of this station, in conjunction with the sale/potential sale of two other stations in Santa Fe, NM (a small town indeed), represents the epitome of the "Media Consolidation" discussion (see wikipedia articles on this subject-for better or worse, one company owns 5, soon to be 6 stations in a very small market). It would seem valuable to record or note this fact, and provide the connection to other relevant articles at wikipedia.

How would the fact that there is controversy over the sale, and the fact that the sale is part of the largest media consolidation in Santa Fe's history best be represented as something informational?

Perhaps its not appropriate, but it would seem to be. Specific sources indicating that there *is* controversy over the issue include several local and regional newspaper articles (citeable via weblinks) as well as Letters to the Editor of local papers. Without scholorly research on the whether or not a controversy exists...what esle can be done?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts as an apparently more seasoned wiki contributor than myself.
